Question
Hello Rabbi, I am 15 years old and becoming more observant. I started wearing skirts on weekends and to the synagogue, but not to school. I attend a secular school with many different religions and cultures. I am unsure if wearing a skirt to school is the right thing because I think it will attract a lot of attention, especially in my school. I am very shy and do not want to draw attention to myself. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello,
Every step forward in modesty is an immense merit like no other.
There is no need to worry about unnecessary attention; it will last for a day or two, then people will get used to it, and that's it. You will remain with the merit that will stand by you forever.
The fact that there are different religions and cultures in the school, rather than a uniform group, will make it easier for you to make this change and not be different.
With great respect!
